That Friday Feeling

This has been a busy week and next week will be much the same, but in between we have the weekend.

The bike race I was entered for has been cancelled so now I don't even need the excuse that I wheeled out yesterday for not riding it!

The plumbers have been hard at work connecting the hot water system and preparing the heating to be done next week. It's pleasantly reassuring to see people working who clearly know what they are doing with tangible results. I work with lots of competent people, but there is rarely anything different in the room at the end of a busy day's work than there was at the start.

Yesterday was the general election in Denmark. I don't have the right to vote as I am not a Danish citizen (I don't understand why I can't vote as a permanent resident, EU member and tax payer, but that's another post). The "Red Block", led by Niel Kinnock's daughter in law Helle Thorning-Schmidt won meaning that we are in for a slightly more socialist government than the last one although it remains to be seen what that will actually mean.

    Good news on the biking front then - no guilty conscience.
    I feel the same about our painter - much better than we could acheive & so competently done.
    I've just had 40 winks then found him painting the window - good job I had the computer on my lap!

    Socialism usually means they will take your money and give it to somebody else.
